Simple Corsair (oz12080)

About this Plan

Simple Corsair. Radio control sport scale model, for .049 - .074 engines. Uses the Ace foam wing. Wingspan 36 in, wing area 190 sq in.

Quote: "Eyes will turn when you lanch the smal version of Pappy Boyington's bent-wing bird, the F-4U Corsair. After the Mustang, this is probably the most recognizable warbird of all time. Clever design makes the gull-wing easy to build. You can experience a Corsair without going to the effort and expense of the bigger models. In the air, you'd swear you were back in time with the Black Sheep Squadron patrolling the Pacific.

As the name implies, the Simple series is designed to be as simple to buid and fly as possible. An injection moulded foam wing and die cut parts that and cleanly cut literally fall together in afew hours of enjoyable assembly. When powerd by a 1/2A sized engine such as the Thunder Tiger GP-07 the airplane has great performance that is not mited by the airplane's small size and will surprise the pilot as well as the spectators. So if you want an airplane that is big on fun but small on frustration, so with the Simple Series."
